Blue 62

[HG2]

I bought a 62 w 196k miles from original owner. Its in overall good shape but needs some tlc. My son and I are beginning to upgrade and need some help. I assume OEM parts are the way to go?

What is largest tire you can run on stock wheels?
We are looking for: grill and headlight bezels, mud flaps. Also considering a slight lift....98% of time on pavement....more aesthetic than anything. Any recommendations are appreciated.

While a 33x10.5R15 tire will just barely fit on the stock wheels (with a struggle mounting them) and people use them, most shops won't mount that tire on the 6 inch stock wheel since its nott recommended by the tire manufacturers.

Same goes with 31x10.5R15 tires. It's the width of the tire that's the issue with that wheel. Just about everyone though has used 31" tires on the stock wheels some time in the past.

If you like the look of tall tires but don't care about how they'll degrade the acceleration, braking, body roll and transmission wear, find a shop that'll mount the 33s for you.
But if you can tolerate the looks of the 31s, they'll offer much better performance for everything.
If you want your 62 to feel like it is actually accelerating, get 235s or 30s (which fit your wheel fine) but they won't look as adventurous as the bigger tires

Thanks. Im definitely more concerned with performance as it's driven regularly. Where do you recommend finding parts....mud flaps, license plate light assembly, rubber molding, etc?
